Abstract
Choosing the optimal location of the logistics infrastructure helps to improve the quality, safety of products and the level of customer satisfaction and contributes to cost reduction.
The article considers a methodological approach to the formation and identification of potential locations of logistics infrastructure: warehouse storage facilities, wholesale distribution centers for storage, marketing and trade of agri-food products in the country, as well as their intended service areas that contribute to improving the efficiency of their functioning.
The proposed approach, as opposed to previous ones, takes into account the specifics of the functioning of the storage, sales and trade infrastructure, and connects these objects with transport and warehouse availability in the regions.
The proposed methodology allows us to determine the potential characteristics of the logistics infrastructure for storing products depending on the selected clusters; potential locations and the number of regional logistics infrastructures for storage, sales and trade, as well as their service areas, taking into account their functional purpose. It is a source of important information in the process of designing logistics infrastructure, conducting a differentiated investment policy during its construction and operation.
